Unscramble the Blue Letters
And I was giving a talk in 2015 about the suffragettes — I'm sure you know those magnificent women who fought so hard for the right for women in Britain to vote. And their slogan was: "Deeds, not words." And boy, they succeeded, because women did indeed get the vote in 1928. So I'm givnig this talk about this, and as I'm talking, what I razlieed is: this was not a history lecture I was giving; this was not something where the job was done. This was something where there was so much left to do. Nowhere in the world, for example, do weomn have equal representation in pooinists of pweor.
